STILL RAGING FURIoUsLY.

DETROIT, Mich, May 23.-Specials
to the JonrnaL from the upper peninsula
report forest fires still raging. From all
parts of the peninsula come reports
of continued damage. Danger to many
towns is as evident as at any previous
time. At last reports Ironwood was
threatened, but the wires are down and
no news has been received since last
night. Unless heavy rains come soon
much damage is feared near Negaunee.

During Mr.. Swett's illness, when for two

South and other parts for his health, Miss
Decker-the bride of to-day-was the main

looked after the collection of fees and kept
the business intact, remitting funds to the
sick man abroad and to the late invalid

Keep Out the Witches.
Prairie Farmer.


You csn not be too careful about the
kind of water your cows drink, and the
kind of atmosphere you do your milking
in, it you want to keep the witches out of
the cheese-vat or the churn. Stagnant
water from any source is injurious to the
health OF cows, and to the wholesomeness
of their milk. This has been demonstrated
over and over again, and the warning to
dairymen has been iterated and reiterated
through the agricultural press and dairy
conventions for years. Still it is
apparent 10 any one who rides
through the country with his eyes
open, that the lesson Is not learned, or at
least Is not needed. Cows continue to drink
stagnsnt and impure water and the quality
Of both butter and cheese is lowered in
consequence. So milking is still done in
filthy quarters, and the odor and flavor of
the barnyard continues to offend the NOS
trils and palates of milk consumers, and to
injure the flavor and market value of dairy
products. Why DO not all dairymen heed
the admonition of experience and the die
tates Of common sense by giving their cows
plenty of pure water to drink and pure air
to breathe, and by doing their milking in
clean places, free from bad odors and in
Vulnerable microscopic germs of ferment
and decay, which are as insidious aud sure
as death, aud as silent and invisible? These
are the witches that at times play un-
thought-of prsnks in the dairy room, to
the great perplexity and dismay of the
dairy maid,

nearly always attained by raising very

If you think you can make more money,
and at the same time keep up the farm as
it should be, make the change gradually,
so that before it is too late You can know

GARDEN Crops in Dry Weather.
philadelphia Record.


II the farmer or gardener could cause
rain to fall at certain periods, or prevent
long-continued drenchipgs at times when
moisture is not desirable, the result would
be larger crops, less labor and an absolute
certainty of success; but as this is as yet
not possible, other methods have been
tried some of which have been very salts
isiactory. Were large field crops are
grown, irrigation or some plan of storing
the water must be practiced, which entails
great expense, while on some farms the
conditions are unfavorable, compelling the
farmer to take his chances of ram or
drouth. With a garden, however, large
crops can be propoIJionately grown, and
plenty of moisture provided for certain
vegetables, If proper preparations be made
when planting the seed. 1t may be
OF interest to give the result
Of some experiments made by q
New Jersey gardener this season which
up to the present time promise
to be very successful. He procures old
scap-boxes, four-barrels, kegs, or anything
that will hold earth or manure, and if the
boxes or barrels he somewhat rickety so
much the better. In planting melons,
cucumbers, tomatoes, squashes or lima
beans be places a box on the middle of the
hill, which should be six feet across fills
! it half full of fresh manure, and over the
manure ha peck of a mixture of wood
ashes and superphosphate is placed. The
| seeds OF the melons are planted around the
box, four plants being allowed to the hill
| the distance of the seeds from the box be
ing about two feet, as too close contact
with the box is not desirable. When the
| young plants are up soapsuds are poured
over the contents of The box. In few
weeks the roots of the plants will have
reached the box, and they are then freelj
and literally supplied with all the mois
ture and liquid manure they may need, a

be desired. In dry weather a bucket o
water in the box causes the matter In tn
manure to leach out. and it soaks in tn

appropriate it. In comparison with plant
not so treated the difference is yer,
